Hi everyone

Finally got rid of the GS 1200 TE adventure a month or so back after a right saga with Bmw,

suffice to say I won't be getting another modern beemer any time soon,

So been thinking currently put my fireblade back on the road, and a few of my classics, spotted the new V-stroms last night really like them but not to sure about running out and buying another bike when I've got other options

Pretty much put every penny over the past 5 years into classics but nothing you would really say is an outright adventure bike.

Suffice to say Im confused haha

Leads me to a few options

my 2011 blade is pretty trick so not something I'd like to abuse daily with the paint job but could be an option if I swapped the bodywork was thinking even a IomTT spec tank for a bigger fuel range.

Norton 650ss - my daily ride at the moment 1967 great bit of kit but some of the bits like mudguards are getting harder to replace

rd 250 lc great bit of kit again but turning into as much as a nightmare as the 350lc to get parts for

Gsx 750 et really like this super smooth gear change beautiful engine, but again could picture it being a pain to get a component for as stuffs running out on the two

LC 250 sort of seems not to bad if strictly road work

One outside possibility I was thinking about was a 70's commando got a Norton Villiers 68 but thats to rare to use and abuse but one thing I have realised you can get everything from Andover next day which is a bit of a revelation for a classic bike easier to restore than the Japanese stuff haha, maybe in a scrambler style trim, just an idea

Ideally something I can work on myself

New option wise would be maybe a V-strom 1000 or 650

What would you do or consider ?

Thanks in advance ^^
